I will teach you how to cook two classic recipes from my family: semolina gnocchi and meatballs with sauce, just like my grandmother makes them!

We will do every preparation step together and you can easily replicate everything we cooked together at home.

- For this menu it is not possible to request an entirely vegetarian version, in any case the gnocchi and sauces do not contain traces of meat;


- It is possible to request a lactose-free menu;
